Patagonia Amber Lager

Tap to rate

The brand's first beer, an amber lager built on four specialty malts and Patagonian hops. It pours amber with bright red highlights under a white head. The nose is soft caramel, and the palate is malty with lightly toasted caramel, bready crust and a gentle sweetness that lingers after the swallow. Bitterness stays mild, the body is light to medium and the carbonation lively, so the malt carries the beer from start to finish.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a malty sweetness that carries lightly toasted caramel and a bready crust character. Bitterness remains mild and well-integrated, never dominating. A gentle sweetness lingers pleasantly through the swallow, while the light to medium body and lively carbonation prevent heaviness.
